The following Developer Studio functionality has been
deprecated in App Studio due to improvements in design, workflow,
and usability.

Item

Reason/Notes

Creating
Visual Discovery ActiveX Dashboards using HTML Composer

Reason: The new Visual Discovery Advanced
Edition (AE) Workbench is now used to created Visual Discovery dashboards.
Visual Discovery ActiveX does not contain as much functionality
as the Visual Discovery AE product. When using Visual Discovery ActiveX,
you can only use Internet Explorer to view these types of pages.

Notes: The
Visual Discovery license for App Studio only provides the options
that you need to open and edit an existing dashboard in the HTML
canvas. In App Studio, you can edit existing Visual Discovery controls
in the Settings panel. You cannot add new Visual Discovery controls
to a dashboard in App Studio.

Maintain Development
Environment

Reason: Maintain development is being integrated
into App Studio as part of the HTML canvas, in a future release.

Notes: App
Studio and Developer Studio can be run simultaneously. To create
Maintain files, continue to use Developer Studio. To create files
that are not Maintain files, use App Studio.

Text
editor tab in Document Composer

Reason: Text editing should be done outside
of the user interface. This is because any edits made in the Text
Editor that are not supported by the user interface will produce
unexpected results or errors.

Logical View

Reason: This feature is not widely
used in Developer Studio.

RIA
(Bindows) Themes for new HTML pages

Reason: This feature is not widely
used in Developer Studio.

Notes: You can open and
edit existing RIA pages in App Studio and they will be converted
to use standard themes and jQuery animations. The option to create
new RIA pages has been removed. Instead, you can now use jQuery
Animations to animate objects on your HTML page.

Viewing FOCUS Files in App Studio

Reason: FOCUS files are not able
to be edited, so they do not display when filtering the Environments
Tree panel to show Master Files.

Initial Presentation
for Active Reports

Reason: This was initially implemented because
active reports did not work with the GRAPH command. Now that active
reports work with the GRAPH command, and much more chart functionality
is available, Initial Presentation is no longer needed.

Reason: The Select All
option has been removed with the paradigm change from toolbars to
the ribbon.

Notes: The functionality to select all
fields in the Object Inspector still exists. In order to select
all fields in the Object Inspector, you would select the first field
and then Shift + click the last field.

HTML
Layout Templates in HTML Composer

Reason: This feature
is not widely used in Developer Studio.

Notes: Existing
pages that use templates can be run and modified in App Studio.

Refresh of the Design view tab by switching
to Embedded JavaScript/CSS view tab.

Reason: You can now refresh all objects on
the canvas by using the Refresh All command,
in the Miscellaneous group, on Utilities tab,
while in the HTML canvas.
